Verdict

DEBUSSY (2) trained locally and has excellent fresh credentials. Kicks off in a winnable race and wasn't asked to do much in a recent 4f trial. Genuine contender. CATCHY TUNES (12) Gosford-trained mare who was in a different class last time demolishing her rivals over this trip at Queanbeyan in slick timer. Well drawn and she finds a winnable race. ALTERCATION (9) drifted back early when no match for Escargoes over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury. Proven in the going and will find this more to her liking. THE PICCOLINO (10) can overcome the weight increase and awkward gate after scoring a convincing victory over this track and trip in the heavy going. Keep safe.
